Ancelotti's performance disappoints the Brazilians.

In response to the Moroccan national team's draw with their Brazilian counterpart in the match held yesterday, Saturday, as part of the group stage of the "2026 World Cup," the famous French site "Foot Mercato" confirmed that the performance of the "Seleção" led by Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti was never convincing, which made it subject to criticism in the local press.

The site specialized in global football news mentioned that the summit match between the two teams lived up to all its promises, highlighting the brilliance of Moroccan player Ayoub Bouaddi, who is 18 years old, and who contributed to leading his national team to a valuable draw against Brazil, a result that did not satisfy their coach, especially at the beginning of the journey in this competition.

In this regard, Ancelotti said: "I think we did not start the match well. The team was a bit nervous, and we lost a lot of balls and many duels. The first half was not good, and the situation improved in the second half." Meanwhile, Brazil's captain Danilo also criticized the team's performance, considering that "anxiety played a big role in the first half, and we need to correct that."

The Brazilian full-back added that "in a tournament like the World Cup, if we play poorly as we did in the first half, the consequences will be severe. We should be happy to return to the locker room with the result (1-1). This should be a lesson for us for the next match, and it is essential that we show a quick reaction."

The newspapers and Brazilian analysts also highlighted the disappointing performance of Vinicius's teammates; the "Globoesporte" network commented: "The first half was extremely disappointing, especially due to the team's performance on the field, whether in terms of spirit, technique, or tactical approach."

For his part, former Brazil midfielder Felipe Melo considered that "Ancelotti is one of the greatest coaches in history, but he cannot ignore everything. He made a mistake in his starting lineup: Ibanez should not have started."

Meanwhile, sports journalist Hugo Massini commented on the match result, saying: "Am I the only one who noticed that Morocco dominated Brazil during the first 25 minutes? It was a real football massacre. I even felt that Morocco could have scored more goals."
